The X-Men star stopped by N.Y.C. restaurant The Little Beet for a hearty, low-carb lunch on Monday — and Tuesday! The midtown Manhattan restaurant is across the street from Radio City Music Hall, where Jackman has been rehearsing to host Sunday’s Tony Awards.

Wearing a bike helmet, black T-shirt, sunglasses and a backpack, Jackman told employees he loved the food and happily snapped photos with customers and staff — and even with Little Beet chef Franklin Becker.

So, what favorite foods brought the actor back to the restaurant two days in a row? On Monday, he picked grilled chicken with charred broccoli, a lentil salad and a kale salad. And on Tuesday, Jackman stuck with the grilled chicken and charred broccoli, but paired them with quinoa salad and roasted sweet potatoes instead.

Becker shared the recipe for his kale salad with PEOPLE. The dish pops with pickled currants, a generous helping of Pecorino cheese and a bright, tart dressing made from vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice and lemon oil.

Make it for a guilt-free lunch or, better yet, for your Tony’s viewing party. Christening it with a punny name based on a Broadway play: up to you.
